Anzac Day - We Dig It!
Apart from a public holiday, Two-Up games down at the local RSL, Anzac biscuits and some great footy action, this weekend is when we remember and commemorate those courageous blokes who fought long and hard defending our country and those that lost their life in the process.
We reckon the best way to honour these legendary service men is get down to your closest dawn service on Sunday morning then kick back at an RSL for the rest of the day enjoying a few yarns and a couple of beers and make sure you let the old diggers know "Beauty Mate - Good on You!"
World Cup Soccor / Football it's a bit like some of the big name brands they get you excited with big marketing and suspect claims, but when it comes to the crunch they just let you down. We're sending poor old Harry Kewell a Beauty Mate pack so that next time the same situation occurs he can give that referee a good rub up on the ball. A bit of mentholated beauty mate face wash and watch him run to the change rooms like a big girl.
Welcome to June! In Australia this is the month that we need to start to think Tax refund, the month that kicks of the Ski Season and the month where AFL have a mid season break and your girlfriend suggests that it would be nice to spend that weekend doing something she likes. As it is 2010, June is about surviving The Sex and the City (II) Movie
Get the look ...
For all the men out there whose girlfriends have insisted that they share the Sex and the City sequel, my condolences. No matter how you look at it, it's going to be painful. Let's face it, for an Aussie guy, this will be two hours of your life that you will never get back so if you have to go, then start preparing and why not make it fun for her. For this DATE, you have to look the part also. Your girlfriend will walk out of the movie thinking she is one of the Fab Four (when I mention Fab Four I am referring to Carrie and the girls, not the Brisbane midfield that won 3 AFL premierships in a row) and will look to you as her Mr Big!
Be well-groomed ...
With Assistance from Beauty Mate, there is every chance that you are going to look as refine fabulous as Mr Big. Dressing properly and looking smart really helps to put her in the mood. Beauty Mate can help you here with any of their well priced, home delivered grooming products. I would recommend the following items to get you started;
· Moisturiser 100ml
· Shave Gel 200ml
· Face Wash 150ml
· Shape or Form
Now that you are looking dapper, its time to dress like Mr Big:
Dress Dark What this means is simply stay mysterious with dark colours (stay away from blue or brown socks). Mr Big was always in a suit, perhaps wear something a little more casual but at the same time stay in character for your girlfriend's sake, black jeans, with a dark shirt and shiny leather shoes always help with the important look.
It's all in the shoes...
Toss the Birkenstocks and opt for spotless shinny dark leather shoes. As my mum says "you're only as clean as your shoes are". I know it's hard to do, but for your chicks sake comfort is not the key here: important note is not to stop at the shoes, go buy some fresh dark socks (not blue or brown), feel good to the bone I say!
During the movie...
With the movie two hours long, you need a chance to break away from your girlfriend and get some air. My little secret tip is, COFFEE! You will notice in the movie the girls are either sculling cosmopolitans or meeting up for a coffee to gossip. Well my suggestion is to excuse yourself for a toilet break, get outside amongst the fresh air, make a couple of calls to friends, check the World Cup football score and then just as you are about to go back in, grab two take away coffees to take back into the cinema. At first your girlfriend will be upset that you missed a large chunk of the movie, but all is forgotten when you bear gifts. For $3.50, believe me it is worth it. She will feel like a princess in the movie house as there will not be too many other Carrie wannabes in the theatre drinking coffee when the Fab Four are on the big screen gossiping. Conversation Its good to know a bit about what the girls are going to wear in the movie. I would spend about 20 minutes on the internet and learn some of the following Fab Fours fashion choices. Trust me your stock will go up in value if you can discuss Jimmy Choo's new range.

Now the movie has finished you can take back control again, if fiscally possible catch a cab to your next destination. It's the Sex and the City's main form of transport. Now you have made it her perfect night; don't go out introducing outside influences that may put a damper on the night. Take your girlfriends glow home and see where it takes you, if it's an early night then don't worry, the reward will come later.
If you do get a chance to nominate a reward may look at some further Beauty Mate products.

Our first retail order - it is a bit like training your team for a couple of years and then sending them out to play in their first big game.
Packing the Target order was an experience in itself - we figured that as it was our first, we would be best to experience the logisitcs of it all so we would be best placed to brief a distribution company on how to take hold of the reigns moving forward - all good in theory. The reality was a team of 6 volunteers / slaves / fools / fabulous friends who hung in there for two days as we packed 1800 gift packs - rewarding, fulfilling stuff! Happy now to handball it to a distribution company that has now been locked in for future orders.
Early Monday morning, August 17th, and the truck arrives at the warehouse. We rally a friend (think that term is now wearing thin with him after packing the order as well) to help load the boxes onto the truck - 150 in total with a flight of sixteen stairs down from the warehouse to ground level - great to get the workout for the day done - gotta focus on the positive. Finally the truck is all loaded and we wave a fond farewell.
So then we wait for a few days as the goods are dispatched to Target Superstores around Australia - 50 stores in total. No calls so we presume all is good.
We hesitantly make our way into the city on Sunday August 23rd just to check out whether they have arrived is store yet - supposedly there by Monday 24th but you never know - they could have arrived early. Target in Bourke Street is huge - we finally locate the cosmetics section and begin our search. Nothing on the rows of shelves that house all of the other female brand spin offs (you know what I mean - the ones that included the blokes as an after thought) mustn't be here yet. But wait - there is a large, prominent display area right out in the open set up especially for Father's Day gifts - and there we are! And boy - we sure stand out from the pack! So many brands choose black, navy, grey etc to represent products for blokes, which we thank them for, because it makes our red and pearl white tubes and jars shine brightly.
Our first gift packs are the 'Nude Nut Pack' for those who are follicley challenged, the 'Good on you' pack and the 'Hair Travel Pack'.
We walk away with pride, elation, anxiety and fear - we are now out there but will the rest of the world embrace the Beauty Mate brand?
Who knows? We hope so as we are giving it a red hot crack and from Target we take on the world. Trademarks are in place in all major countries and Austrade is shaping up to back us all the way.
Beauty Mate - good on you!
The footy season is on it's way, you can almost feel the MCG gearing up to take the weight of the 2010 season. With rumours of secret deals being exposed it is certainly already shaping up to be an interesting year. Richmond versus Carlton kicks off the season on March 25 at the MCG, Carlton were finals finishers last year whilst everyone will have their eyes on Richmond to see how they go minus Richo. It will surely be a walkover for Carlton who faired much better in 2009 than the now very young Richmond side.
Two new clubs Western Sydney and Gold Coast make their debut this year promising to put even more pressure of the current clubs in particular those struggling in previous years. All eyes will be on 2009 Premiers Geelong to see if they have another year of domination and can make it a trifecta come finals time.
With drama's on and off the field it is certainly shaping up to be a season of highs and lows. It will all of course come down to the final siren on that one day in September.
Pete, Mr Beauty Mate himself will be interviewed on TVN between 7.20 and 7.40pm for the Beauty Mate nude nut handicap, Beauty Mate Manscaping Handicap and Beauty Mate Good On You handicap. Make sure to tune in and support Beauty Mate as we support the Moonee Valley Racing season.
It promises to be a great night and we've got just one thing to say 'Giddyup'!
